plans unfurled
This section will stand as a sketch for the idea of the warm auditorium series. It is a research and performance series based on working through a series of rigorously planned events that come into contact with chance encounters, improvisation, and mishaps through contact with the audience. That audience being any person that comes into contact with these various projects [...] This section of the website will stand in as an attempt to deal with each individual occurrence as a whole [...] Note that this will be sketched out and expanded in further detail. This stands as the first entry and notation on the subject matter. More to follow [...]
have feet will travel
[..] to find a natural footing for a particular context. To approach design art as the actor would, creating a performance work from the inside-out, while simultaneously reacting to those people and objects on stage, and responding from the outside-in. To find your character shoes. Bespoken-to [a-particular-audience].

cold reading
"Cold reading is a term used by actors and other performers in theatre, television, film, and performance fields. A cold reading is a reading aloud from a script or other text without any rehearsal, practice or study in advance. It is also sometimes referred to as sight-reading." from wikipedia.

periaktos
wikipedia entry
"Periaktos (plural form Periaktoi, from Greek revolving) is a device used for displaying and rapidly changing theatre scenes. It was first mentioned in Vitruvius' book on architecture, De architectura (ca. 14 BC) but its most intense use began in Renaissance theatre, as a result of the work of important theatrical designers, such as Nicola Sabbatini (1574-1654). Other solid polygons can be used, such as cubes, but triangular prisms offer the best combination of simplicity, speed and number of scenes per device.
It consists of a revolving solid isosceles triangular prism made of wood. On each of its three faces, a different scene is painted, so that, by revolving quickly the periaktos, another face can appear to the audience. A series of periaktoi positioned one after the other along the stage's depth can produce the illusion of a longer scene, composed by its faces as seen in perspective. These periaktoi must therefore be rotated simultaneously to a new position, thus achieving interesting illusions. This is made by coupling them by using sprocket gears at their bases and a flat chain or conveyor belt mechanical transmission system.
A similar concept is used in some modern tri-faced multi-message billboards, which are made up of a series of triangular prisms arranged so that they can be rotated to present three separate flat display surfaces at the same time.
Early motion picture mechanical devices, such as the praxinoscope, were also based on rapidly rotating solid polygons, which had the successive animation or photographic plates affixed or projected to each face, thus providing the optical illusion of movement."
expanded
A graphic reference to the Periaktoi will be used as an insignia for the project. The words warm, cold, auditorium, reading, open, and closed will be combined (or standalone) for naming events, publications, and other objects.

"Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again. " Being There (1979)
